Summary:
Nevada's State Sponsored Charter Schools district includes three middle schools serving grades 5 through 10 in Henderson and Las Vegas, with enrollments ranging from 111 to 419 students. The district's overall rating is strong — 2nd of 12, 83rd percentile, 5 stars — but the three schools differ widely, so parents should compare them individually rather than relying on the district average.
Coral Academy Windmill stands out clearly, ranking 4th of 148 statewide in 2025–26 (97th percentile, 5 stars) with the highest proficiency in every subject: 66.8% in math, 78.2% in reading, and 47.5% in science, all well above district and state averages. Its chronic absenteeism is just 6.7%, far below the district's 17.2% and the state's 25.5%, and it has the lowest student-teacher ratio (25.3) and per-student spending ($9,358) of the group. Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle ranked 88th of 148 (41st percentile, 2 stars): math at 29.8% and reading at 32.9%, both below state averages, with absenteeism of 34.8%. Young Womens Leadership Academy of Las Vegas is mixed — reading at 52.1% is above the state's 45.2%, but math is 22.5% and absenteeism is highest at 39.8%.
Two patterns stand out. Higher absenteeism tracks with lower math proficiency across these schools. Also, per-student spending does not line up with outcomes here: the highest-spending school, Young Womens at $10,565, has the lowest math proficiency, while the lowest-spending school has the strongest results — likely reflecting different student populations and school models. Democracy Prep and Young Womens both serve 100% free/reduced-lunch students, versus 30.31% at Coral. Some figures, including science for two schools and many Young Womens grade-level results, were suppressed by the state for privacy; these are unknown, not zeros. Both lower-ranked schools did improve from 2024–25 to 2025–26.
